Ordered through mwave when it was in stock last week. Just called and they said it's out of stock. Ugh, lame.

you want to use a 940 cpu in a 939 board? are u stupid?
Don;t even try that, some might say take one pin out so you can use it with 939. That is the most stupid thing i ever heard.
With the 1000 stock fsb of the Opteron 144 939 pin, does the fsb typically oc to 2000 fsb? I'm asking because I notice that the Athlon 64 is 2000 fsb. I want to be sure that the Opteron's when overclocked (e.g., to 2.4 ghz) perform equal to or better than an equivalent Athlon 64 at 2.4ghz.
Also, does anyone know if any special ram is required for these other than Dual Channel DDR?

ANY socket 939 does NOT require special RAM. only the socket 940s need to have regitstered RAM, no restrictions for 939s.
as for the FSB question - im more than sure that you have the right idea.

Finally got a tracking notification for my 144 ordered from Monarch on 11/30. Should be here Wednesday.
Maybe all these other firms (Monarch, TankGuy, etc.) should buy up these opterons from Zipzoomfly! You know, seeing as the supply's drying up and all with AMD stopping production of the boxed version. They could sell them for $250 each in month or so
That's a cold deal. That's about $70 more than how much they get them for. It would be hot if they put down a good stepping for it.Originally posted by: Budarow

I overclocked mine to 2.8GHZ last night after a week of having it and running it at stock speed. First i tried with ASROCK Dual SATAII i would like to say it is not a good overclocker as anandtech said in their review.
That board has the hardest BIOS i have ever seen. Then i swap it into my old time favourite brand MSI NEO4 PLATINUM SLI Motherboard and changed the FSB straight to 312 = 2.8ghz
3 X HTT
PQI Turbor PC4000 @ 500MHZ = 3-4-4-8 = 2.8V
NF4 = 1.65
Vcore = 1.55
looks good to me and then i tried with A-DATA PC3200 all slots full 4 X 512MB = 2GIG
3 X HTT
133 memory in BIOS @ 400mhz
FSB = 312
I am going to update my results, as soon as i do more testing. I am really busy with the final exams.

Tiger Direct has the retail/boxed opteron 144 (939-pin) for ~$169 (plus shipping of around ~$8) in stock.

I was being sarcastic...with all the talk about the supply drying up, etc.
Just tossed it in a Jetway A210GDMS Pro mATX with onboard ATi x300, and only 200 watt power supply. No problem running it up to the boards max of 300MHz FSB.
